German carmaker Audi has issued a clear denial to speculation linking it with a Formula One foray in the near future.
The recent management appointment at Volkswagen, Audi's parent, of former Grand Prix driver Hans-Joachim Stuck, spurred rumours - again - that either marque could be preparing to take up pit lane's twelfth and final garage spot.
But Wolfgang Ullrich, Audi sport boss, answered: "Formula One is not a subject that we have discussed.
"We have a defined motor sports programme," he told Eurosport MotorMagazin, "with the marketing and product aspects fully covered."
